For some, the defining moments of friendship are profound, such as the soulmate who helps you through the grief of losing a family member or camps out in your hospital room when you're sick. For others, it's smaller gestures like the friend who talks for hours when you're feeling alone, even if it means going over on their cell phone minutes. And the one who helps you with your homework, even when she hasn't done her own; or the friend who helps you search for your retainer, even when it means going through the garbage from the school lunch. After discovering this, I decided I needed to find out my definition of friendship. What is a true friend? This is a true story. This is not fake, the names are changed but otherwise I actually went through this. The chapters are short for convenience.
